Captain, I'm with you all the way. I still love pbooks, but can only read Large Type ones. I still have the K1, and always use either the largest, or second largest font. Both work for me, depending on how bright the light is.

It is ironic that my first ebook was the old Rocket eBook, out years ago. It had several features that none of the current ones provide. The best of all was the ability to download any font and type size you had on your computer, via the USB cable.

It would display any two you wanted, so you could easily jump from one to another. I kept a 14 pt and an 18 pt Times Roman on the device, and could switch back and forth with just the press of a button.

Pity neither Sony nor Amazon has provided this helpful feature. I can't believe that some bright programmer could not figure out how to do it. And at the same time, make all the menus the same size as the type you picked for the book.

Don't hold your breath.
